Jan Haugland: Blasphemous Metablogging
|
Royal blog The popular chief ... (Jan 12 2004 05:38 GMT) - Royal blog The popular chief of state of Cambodia, King Norodom Sihanouk, has a blog, apparently containing almost daily communiques! I am pretty sure that makes him the first royal blogger in history. Probably the first head of state with a blog too. One can of course argue that it is not a real blog, since what is posted there comes from his handwriting, but given that it is not professionally edited, I think it qualifies. More serious is it that it doesn't follow the reverse chronological order typical for blogs, but I seriously think we have to give some leeway to a king. |

The Serendipity of Soups (Jan 12 2004 05:38 GMT) - Making soup is an activity we do a lot of in the winter; it usually involves making stock from the vegetables from last week's soup (peelings, etc. thrown in from the freezer). I rarely follow a recipe, but soup almost... |

fat guy with a tiny mohawk (Jan 12 2004 05:35 GMT) - new year, new haircut. i didn't have any rhyme or reason when i decided to try the mohawk on for size. all i knew is i had about two inches of hair forming a mismanaged white afro. i'd asked megs and her friend jen a pair of clippers and while neither of them had given anyone a mohawk before i think they did an okay job. it's fairly straight and it's a little thinner than i wanted but i like it and have elicited a whole bunch of funny looks and backhanded comments from my friends and family. |

reality qua giving in (Jan 12 2004 05:33 GMT) - I suspect that the quest for reality is really more like a project of resignation. Whereas, the obscure, the paradoxical (and only nominally do I mean here the textually obscure/theoretical) test the strength of our passion. Failing an ability to thrive in obscurity we resign ourselves to the real. |

The trouble with orgies, part 1 (Jan 12 2004 05:28 GMT) - I'm not sure if orgy is the right word for it. Happened at a bathhouse in Chicago, the Steamworks, on Halsted St., smack in the middle of boystown. They always draw a great crowd on big holiday party nights, and Halloween is the gay christmas, and I was lucky enough to find myself in the city that weekend, so how could I resist? |

Blogger News Item (Jan 12 2004 05:28 GMT) - I love this idea. I'm not entirely clear on whether it started with an idea from Atrios, or a decision by a dean supporter to take direct action. Possibly both happening separately, fusing and erupting into a little movement. Here's what I do know. |

Fashion photography of yesteryear (Jan 12 2004 05:28 GMT) - The Decline of Fashion Photography; An argument in pictures. Inspired by Karen Lehrman's photo-essay about the poor state of contemporary fashion photography, I went looking for vintage goodness. Louise Dahl-Wolfe and Irving Penn are two of the photographers she mentions, but it would be a shame to miss (to name a few) Frances Pellegrini's, Erwin Blumenfeld's, and Herman Landshoff's contributions to the genre. |

Next Generation Truck Stops (Jan 12 2004 05:28 GMT) - Neato Next Generation Truck Stops IANAT (I am not a trucker), so I had no idea trucks could just plug into truck stops complete with air conditioning, power, internet, satellite TV, etc. And the bonus is that these facilities are environmentally friendly since the truck doesn't have to be left running all night. |
